A little over a year ago I injured my shoulder. It still hurts and stuff now, so I went back to the orthopedic surgeon in July. He ordered physical therapy and an MRI. I finish physical therapy this week. The MRI looked good - no obvious tares. I've had shots and anti inflammatory meds as well. Nothing has helped the pain.
The doctor thinks that I have shoulder impingement syndrome. Basically the bones in my arm shoulder are pushing on the tendons - the opening is too small. So on October 6th, I am having surgery. The doc is going to go in, shave the bone down, and look for any small tears that the MRI may have missed. Sounds like a great time huh?
The recovery is about 4-6 weeks with this procedure. I ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we figure everything out.
Thanks!
